An explosion breaks a rock into three parts in a horizontal plane. Two of them go off at right angles to each other. The first part of mass 1 kg moves with a speed of 12 m s-1 and the second part of mass 2 kg moves with 8 m s-1 speed. If the third part flies off with 4 m s-1 speed, then its mass is :

1. 7 kg
2. 17 kg
3. 3 kg
4. 5 kg

Three blocks with masses m, 2m and 3m are connected by strings, as shown in the figure. After an upward force F is applied on block m, the masses move upwards at constant speed v. What is the net force on the block of mass 2m ? (g is the acceleration due to gravity) [figure]

1. 3mg
2. 6mg
3. zero
4. 2mg

A car is moving in a circular horizontal track of radius 10 m with a constant speed of 10 m/s. A bob is suspended from the roof of the car by a light wire of length 1.0 m. The angle made by the wire with the vertical is

2. 6
3. 4
4. 0

A person holding a rifle (mass of person and rifle together is 100 kg) stands on a smooth surface and fires 10 shots horizontally, in 5 s. Each bullet has a mass of 10 g with a muzzle velocity of 800 m s-1. The final velocity acquired by the person and the average force exerted on the person are :

3. 5 m s-1
4. 10 m s-1

A conveyor belt is moving at a constant speed of 2 m s-1. A box is gently dropped on it. The coefficient of friction between them is = 0.5. The distance that the box will move relative to belt before coming to rest on it, taking g = 10 m s-2, is
